Michael D Aguilar Varela

Michael D Aguilar Varela, a self-certified small disadvantaged Hispanic American-owned sole proprietorship based in Covina, California, supplies potable and gray water truck and handwashing station equipment mounted on trailers to the Department of Agriculture Forest Service as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. All four recent awards are primes (100% of the footprint), concentrated entirely within USDA Forest Service Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region) wildland fire and incident management operations.

The vendor holds two indefinite delivery contracts under the National Interagency Fire Center's Incident Blanket Purchase Agreement (I-BPA) program. The first, awarded February 6, 2026, carries a $500,000 ceiling through May 13, 2030 and is structured as a multiple-award vehicle supporting regional dispatch centers for fire suppression, all-hazard incidents, and prescribed project work. The second, awarded May 13, 2025, carries a $250,000 ceiling through May 13, 2030 under identical scope. Both contracts require the vendor to furnish equipment, materials, transportation, lodging, and certified personnel capable of supporting 16-hour operational shifts with dispatch timeline compliance. Against these two IDCs, the vendor has issued two delivery orders: one for $36,250 (awarded August 2, 2025, completion August 30, 2025) and a second for $34,965 (awarded September 2, 2026, completion September 28, 2026). Combined potential value across all four awards totals $821 thousand, with only $71 thousand obligated to date, indicating early-stage performance on freshly awarded vehicles. Customer concentration is complete — 100% of awards fund USDA Forest Service programs, split between the National Interagency Fire Center's I-BPA vehicles ($750 thousand combined potential) and direct Region 5 delivery orders ($71 thousand combined potential). Activity is nascent, with two awards in 2025 and two in 2026; both IDCs extend through 2030 and anchor the vendor's federal footprint.
